U.S. might miss Olympic soccer again after losing to Honduras

The United States is in danger of missing its second straight men's Olympic soccer tournament.

Alberth Elis scored in the 24th and 77th minutes, and Honduras defeated the U.S., 2-0, Saturday to qualify for next year's Rio de Janeiro Games.

To reach the Olympics for the first time since 2008, the Americans must beat Canada on Tuesday in the third-place game of North and Central American and Caribbean qualifying, then defeat Colombia in the CONCACAF-South America one-game playoff, to be held in Rio from March 21-29.

Mexico qualified for the Olympics with a 2-0 victory over Canada.
